    Angry The ad banners have crossed their limit now

    I am attaching a screenshot to illustrate this point. If the ad banners are headed this way, I think I can safely say I am PISSED OFF now.

    I'm on damn dual 1280x960s and it takes up 1/3 of my screen.

    I know that dual monitors are entirely irrelevant, but I just had to throw it in

    I can imagine those on lower res would be even more pissed than I am. Laptops anyone? especially the older ones.
    I'm bringing geeky back...

    Listen, I understand WHY they've had to put an ad space up there, but really, on 1024x768 res it's half the bloody screen. That really is too much by anyones standards.

    Well ...

    There's no change in the ads after so many days. Do you guys care about the members here or about the ads you put up up there? Also I initially thought the 800x600 resolution was causing most trouble, so I tried changing it to 1024x768 but it still sucks more than a vaccuum cleaner. Obviously it seems the people who implemented this change didn't think of anybody else over here before their own commercial interests.

    I am just going to wait for a few more days and then say goodbye.
